    On mission 'Mapping Kampung Orang Asli Bukit Manchong 2024'  ·  March 2024

  • This team is awesome and hope to see you in the upcoming builds!

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home for Budin, Haslina & Family '  ·  February 2024

  • This one is a workshop to learn the basics for building, it was fun and engaging, and the facilitators were attentive in just the right amount. Even if you're not planning to go for the EPIC HOME builds, this is a great workshop to learn some new practical skills. Highly recommend giving it a try !

    On mission '23rd December 2023 Basic Builder Workshop '  ·  December 2023

  • As a dedicated volunteer for a recent mission to Kampung Orang Asli Tun Abdul Razak and Kolam Air, I had the privilege of participating in an expedition that left an indelible mark on my heart and soul. This journey into the heart of Malaysia's indigenous heritage and pristine nature was nothing short of extraordinary, and our primary objectives of assessing the living conditions of the Temuan tribe (Proto-Malay) and understanding their aspirations added a deeper dimension to the experience.

    From the moment I arrived at the village, I was welcomed with open arms by the Temuan community. Their warm hospitality and eagerness to share their way of life immediately made me feel very excited. It was evident that building trust and fostering genuine connections were essential to achieving our mission's goals.

    The core objectives of our mission were to assess the living conditions within the village and to gain a profound understanding of the Temuan community's aspirations. This involved visiting their homes, engaging in meaningful conversations, and listening attentively to their stories and dreams. It was a humbling experience to witness their resilience and hear their hopes for a brighter future.

    Our journey involved mapping the village and its surroundings, but this time, it held a different significance. We marked not only important landmarks but also the conditions of their houses and the challenges they faced in their daily lives (e.g. inequality for basic needs such as clean water, and electricity; poor conditions of house). This information is invaluable for future initiatives aimed at improving their living conditions while respecting their cultural heritage.

    The trek to Kolam Air, a hidden gem within the lush rainforest, provided a unique opportunity to engage with nature and reflect on our mission's purpose. The physical challenges of the journey served as a reminder of the resilience and strength required to overcome adversity. It was an experience that allowed us to connect not only with the environment but also with the Temuan community on a deeper level.

    In conclusion, my volunteer experience in Kampung Orang Asli Tun Abdul Razak and Kolam Air was transformative and deeply enriching. It allowed me to connect with the Temuan community (one of indigenous community of West Malaysia), gain insights into their living conditions and aspirations, and contribute meaningfully to their well-being. I encourage others to engage in similar initiatives that combine volunteerism with cultural preservation and environmental conservation. It's a journey that will leave you with a profound sense of purpose and a heart filled with gratitude for the compassion and resilience of the Temuan people. Yes, now I have experienced with indigenous community of West Malaysia (Temuan tribe) and East Malaysia (Penan tribe)!!

    On mission 'Mapping Kampung Orang Asli Tun Abdul Razak & Kolam Air'  ·  September 2023

  • Wonderful experience all around.

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home for Sunyi & Family (EH194)'  ·  August 2023

  • This is my 3rd build after a long gap. It was good to see the difference in materials used and improvements that EPIC made since my 1st and 2nd builds.

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home for Tahim & Family (EH193)'  ·  July 2023

  • This is my first time joining the EPIC home. I learned a lot from this event. From handling tools to building a house, it is very good knowledge. I felt satisfied when the we finish building the house. It is a great achievement for myself to contribute my time and energy to the society. I will join the next one for sure !

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home for Tahim & Family (EH193)'  ·  July 2023

  • Eventho this is my 2nd built, the excitement is still there, the builders and epic core team are really awesome!

  • Developing a profound understanding of community mapping is an invaluable educational pursuit. Epic consistently excels in conveying information through enjoyable and interactive methods, making it an excellent choice for acquiring this skill. I wholeheartedly endorse it.

  • Great Mission

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home EH188 for Hesli & Family '  ·  January 2023

  • Impactful experience with full positive vibes! Worth the sweat. Thank you to EPIC team for the lovely support to us!

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home EH188 for Hesli & Family '  ·  January 2023

  • Going into my 3rd build, I have the opportunity to become one of the core team members, therefore I'm able to see the build from a different angle.

    This build is a challenge to us, 50% less builders, one specialist pulled out due to sickness, six modules house, new site!

    In the end, we managed to get it done with quality, thanks to the leadership qualities in each of the core team members. Damon is always outspoken and creative in solutions, Terry being open minded to try new methods, Andrew always shows "for one another" attitude, Raj challenge the unknown and shows ownership. Jo, the youngest among all keep fighting spirit high and always ask for new challenges. Our MB Dennis keeps the team intact, aligned and always being humble. We create healthy competition, provide constructive feedback, great teamwork and a fun team. What I felt most is that we are truly one single team focusing on completing the goal. Really enjoyed this Christmas build!! and get to know great leaders like them.

    Hope to build again with you all next year

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home EH187 for Lingser & Family '  ·  December 2022

  • It was truly a rewarding experience especially after seeing Ery and his family receive the keys to their new home. I enjoyed the whole build as I got to learn not just basic woodwork skills, but also teamwork and communication. The core team were also very supportive and provided guidance and instructions throughout the build.

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home EH186 for Ery Fadilan & Family '  ·  December 2022

  • Great experience and knowledge. Learn hands on to use saws, drills, scarfolding. Build a stool and you're all set to build a house the next week

    On mission '3rd December 2022 Basic Builder Workshop (Tranglo) '  ·  December 2022

  • A new amazing way for CSR. Helping community, getting out of the office, building teamwork, aware of environment and sense of achievement.

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home EH186 for Ery Fadilan & Family '  ·  December 2022

  • Such a fulfilling weekend we have experienced. I believe all builders will definitely remember this build experience for their life. So true that like what Core team say, we are not just building a house but building for someone's life/future.

    Definitely will join a build again and recommend friends to join too.

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home EH186 for Ery Fadilan & Family '  ·  December 2022

  • Awesome course! By end of the session, you will acquire basic knowledge required to build a house.

    On mission '4th December 2022 Basic Builder Workshop (Petronas) '  ·  December 2022

  • Totally worth the experience. The people are awesome, the work was meaningful, and the journey was enjoyable. I have already recommended to my friends and colleagues to join this initiative. Cheers to the Epic Home team! :)

  • Ng

    A very informative course and enjoyable, friendly experience.

    On mission '15th October 2022 Basic Builder Workshop '  ·  October 2022

  • Good Session to be follow to gain knowledge on how to use tools

    On mission '9th October 2022 Basic Builder Workshop (Prudential Malaysia) '  ·  October 2022

  • It shocks me deeply when the recipient of the house, Mr. Abbas and family shared with me the RM 5 window is consider an expensive and luxury piece of item to them. Before the build they have decided to hire an external carpenter to specially build the windows for their new house, due to better material, and the cost is RM 5 which is expensive to them, and for us, RM 5 is merly nothing. I could never imagine after the build, how much does the whole house mean to them. Perhaps I could imagine us the joy of a sudden won of lottery worth millions; on them perhaps is a grateful life changing and saving situation where they finally can get rid of the insects and bad weather for their soon to be born baby.

    It was my first to participate in a mission to do such meaningful activities to a fellow human being and his family, and to participate together with 41 like minded souls, the feeling is just beyond special. The atmosphere is very positive and no space for critism of each other work, and that is because every one of us has a single goal in mind which is to complete building a new home in 3 days for Mr. Abbas and his family.

    There are a mixture of new and returning builders, mixture of people from different background and races. Returning builders are well aware of what they came here for; for new builders, you can clearly see their transformation bit by bit everyday, from amateurs in using different kind of tools to self-claimed specialist in their responsibility area, from individuals that always wait for next instructions to independent problem solvers to ensure quality in place :-) The entire process is a joy in life, a kind of joy where I almost forgot about it since I entered the materialistic world.

    Thank you Epic Home for this fantastic and perhaps a life changing experience for me, I would certainly recommend it to more friends, and of course I will always be back to enjoy my vacation with a mission in mind!

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home EH182 for Abas & Family '  ·  October 2022

  • Joining an EPIC build is not just about building a home for the family but also building relationships with fellow builders as well as the local community. It's an enriching experience, good for both body and soul and something to look back at with much fondness.

    On mission 'Build an Epic Home EH181 for Johar & Family '  ·  September 2022

  • It was a great experience, gained new skills and knowledge. Super friendly and enthusiastic facilitators and team members.

    On mission '13th August 2022 KPMG Basic Builder Workshop'  ·  August 2022

  • Fast-paced learning and intentional prototyping workshop. It was a rare opportunity to work with people who are passionate about bamboo as a sustainable building material in Malaysia. The programme was well-designed: an introductory session to bamboo, design development walk-throughs, building session (3 small groups working simultaneously), and immediate feedback session with other builders. We also put to practice specific skills such as identifying bamboo, lashing and jointing techniques etc. It is an exciting journey as we craft out a brand-new modular housing design using bamboo.

    On mission 'Prototype Bamboo Epic Home July 29'  ·  August 2022

  • I've always like to make/build stuff with my hands, usually involving only small scale models/art pieces & basic tools like stationaries. Which is why I don't own a pair of "seasoned" hands, but I don't mind getting them seasoned as I join more builds. I've had a few cuts on my hands, some minor, and one or two deep ones, but it ain't stopping me from wanting to build. That was how impactful the mission was to me. I'm thankful for all the guidance that the epic team has given me especially when using tools that I'm not familiar with. SEAD & Ewe Jin have been great mentors & advisors along the way. I can't wait to see more development on bamboo housing through this collaboration. It was a pleasure.

    On mission 'Prototype Bamboo Epic Home July 29'  ·  August 2022

  • This was my first Epic Homes build. It was a wonderful experience for me as I get to meet new people and made new friends as well. The environment was very positive and everyone did their best to finish the house by Day 3. The core team members were very supportive of us and they took care of us very well.

    At the end of the build, I felt so much more confident in handling tools and reaching to high places where I never knew I could before. Good job teams!!

    On mission 'Latin Women's Association of Malaysia 2022 Epic Homes Build (June10-12) EH176 '  ·  June 2022

  • Seeing the home owner’s smile makes me involve in Epichomes build over and over again. Definitely worth the experience.

    On mission 'Latin Women Association Malaysia 2022 Epic Homes Build (EH174_May 14 - 16) '  ·  May 2022

  • As a first time builder, I had an amazing time learning how to build a house in 3 days! The majority of builders this time were all first timers and we managed to complete this build! What a great sense of accomplishment. Also, the bonding time during our makan sessions and our evening discussions were really fun.

    On mission 'Latin Women Association Malaysia 2022 Epic Homes Build (EH173_April) '  ·  May 2022

  • 5-6 pax / group is a good setting. Trainer Mat was fun and knowledgeable. Enjoyed the session. Would be nice if we could also have extra time to mingle with other groups.

  • I had my first experience in very tough way but I'm proud to be one of the women build! I experienced my first build in hottest weather and work under the rain as well. But I really enjoy myself and against my tiredness to complete the house with all the volunteers. Nothing can describe when I saw the house was complete! Special thanks to the epic core team for always support the volunteers along the whole process. Without them we cannot push ourself to the maximum! I will definitely come back again for my next build. Thank you epic for giving me such a special experience❤️

    On mission 'Malaysian Women Unite Epic Homes Build'  ·  March 2020

  • It was indeed a good experience for a newbie in joining the Epic build, inspired by the advance builder on their skills and enthusiasm in helping the community. Though tiring but definitely worth it when you see the end results and the children's excitement.

    On mission 'Idaman Apartments Community Build'  ·  February 2020

  • Thank you, everyone and Epic for giving a Great experience. it was great to build the house as a team. The positivity among the team and the vibes pushed me to do more. Looking forward to the next one.

    On mission 'Christmas Public Build 2019'  ·  December 2019

  • Great first time experience.

    On mission 'PF#13 - Pathfinders x Tenby @ Kampung Orang Asli Kerawat - Community Mapping'  ·  December 2019

  • One of the most memorable experience in life, through the end of day 3 despite of the tiredness we learned a lot of new things.. We have created a strong bond and love between each other

    Somehow it make me realised that we haven’t explore enough and give enough in order to make this world a better place when there is so much thing that we can offer to the world

    I will definitely come back if I were given the chance and opportunity

    On mission 'Zurich Epic Build Project 2.0'  ·  September 2019

  • What a humble experience.. Definitely will come back again for the next opportunity

    On mission 'Zurich Epic Build Project 2.0'  ·  September 2019

  • The Zurich Epic Build Project 2.0 was a success. It was a tiny but critical step towards building a sustainable and inclusive nation, where no one is left behind. Through the simple act of providing basic physiological needs, Pak Baha, Bu Yanti and their children will have a better chance to break out of the vicious cycle and integrate into the wider community. It is especially notable that Bu Yanti, who was painfully shy on Day 01, gradually warmed up by the third day. She even managed to address the group at the handover ceremony when her hubby was too emotional to speak! Thank you, Alexandra and team, for the opportunity to participate in this worthy cause.

    On mission 'Zurich Epic Build Project 2.0'  ·  September 2019

    On mission 'OSK EPIC BUILD 3.0'  ·  September 2019

  • Thank you guys for this great or should I say epic experience. It's definitely something I'll remember.

    On mission 'SUN Epic Homes Build'  ·  August 2019

  • - After 2 years of not building, coming back to the village has really given me assurance about what i'm doing in life. The act of building a home is not just putting a roof over a family, but it is providing a private 'zen' space for them to grow, for their relationships to prosper.

    I highly recommend that anyone who is / is not up for an adventure, go take part in something as meaningful as this!

    Also, it's only for 3 days, so it is very suitable for families who wanna do a weekend activity together, or companies which have CSR activities that their employees wanna do!

    On mission 'SUN Epic Homes Build'  ·  August 2019

  • Best experience, well organised, excellent comaraderie, enjoyable learning with some hard work. The MB and his team are so encouraging. Good lodgings too!

    On mission 'OBC Epic Homes Build'  ·  August 2019

  • An amazing experience! Knowing that the effort you put in helps a family's dream comes true is truly rewarding. Well done to the whole team who registered for the builds! Big thanks to EPIC master builders, specialists and coordinators in supporting and guiding us throughout the builds.

    On mission 'Zurich Community Week x EPIC Homes Project'  ·  August 2019

  • No regret on joining this mission, lots to learn and it's very meaningful. Using a sentence from 1 of our CEO, we are not only building a house, but is also building someone's dream.

    On mission 'Zurich Community Week x EPIC Homes Project'  ·  July 2019

    On mission 'Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Group (MSIG) Epic Homes Build'  ·  July 2019

  • I am blessed to be part of the team in building dream home for Abang Suratman, Abang Zeek and their family. I love the energy. I did not imagine myself doing this before but I can proudly say "I did it!". Mixed of hard work, sweat and fun (mostly). I had an amazing experience and surrounded by beautiful people who shared the same mission to help others. Thank you Zurich and EPIC. Namaste.

    On mission 'Zurich Community Week x EPIC Homes Project'  ·  July 2019

  • Being able to build a home for Majid and Rohana brought me a lot of fulfilment. MSIG’s group of builders showed great teamwork and motivation to do their best for this home and I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I will definitely return to build again

    On mission 'Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Group (MSIG) Epic Homes Build'  ·  July 2019

  • It was fantastic evening filled with laughter, screams, and chatter. Not only were funds raised for Epic Homes, this mission provided a safe space for new friendships and indelible moments braving through foam bullets!

    On mission 'Epic Nerf Wars II'  ·  July 2019

  • Nur

    Great overall experience, but definitely not for everyone. After a full 3 days of back-breaking work, it's all worth it when you see the smiles on the faces of the home recipients. You really get the sense of giving back to the community.

    On mission 'Cadbury Malaysia (Staff) Epic Homes Build'  ·  July 2019

  • Great 1st experience on-site. Amazing teams; from the EPIC Core team, the Monash builders, and the Orang Asli families around the site.
    Great preparation of drinks, food and accommodation for EH147!

    Highly recommend for anyone to give it a go, at least one time.

    On mission 'Monash University Epic Homes Build'  ·  July 2019

  • I really enjoyed learning new skills in a setting that I have often stayed away from - it was a really rewarding experience.

    On mission 'KLAF 2019 Tropical House Build'  ·  July 2019

  • On a personal note, I return as a builder to overcome my fear of heights and loud machinery. It is a very empowering experience when you forge through them and along the way learned something new. It is also very refreshing to meet builders across all ages and the oldest volunteer, Mr Hon made me feel hopeful and eager to reach my golden years and still be very active in community service! Also, can't wait to see these design prototypes put to good use in future builds!

    On mission 'KLAF 2019 Tropical House Build'  ·  June 2019

  • I’m most glad I have spent my Saturday morning with passionate people of Epic and other like-minded participants. The workshop has opened my eyes to the process that goes behind an Epic Build and what comes before it. It’s a lot of work but a very important one in order to identify the families’ and overall, the community’s needs.

    Our coordinators are most warm & friendly, and have made everyone feel welcomed to be as open and honest with their thoughts. I think the lead coordinator expanded the core principles really well and some points really came through through small interactions and group discussions. I’m grateful for this experience and hopefully will be able to apply & expand my engagement skill to my own community in the future :)

    On mission 'Pathfinders Workshop - 11th May 2019'  ·  May 2019

  • The home build programme is one of the best opportunity for volunteers to give something back to the community i.e. building better shelter for an aboriginal family. The existing volunteers are very friendly and helpful. Personally, this programme taught me new skills - basic carpentry skills!

    On mission 'EH140: Mirandah Asia Epic Homes Build'  ·  May 2019

  • Absolutely loved the entire experience. It was unexpectedly tiring, but worth all the effort seeing the joyful faces of Rudy's family

  • a first hand experience with orang asli at their home

    On mission 'PF#8 - Pathfinders Follow Up @ Kampung Putra - Community Mapping'  ·  March 2019

  • Well done and good job fellow Pathfinders. It was pleasant to meet and have a conversation with the families to understand and (hopefully in the near future) help them.

    Great improvement on the survey forms. Being able to capture many, necessary info/data of the families.
    Definitely easy to understand for new Pathfinders.

    Great company with the villagers and pathfinders within the village and on the long journey.

    On mission 'PF#8 - Pathfinders Follow Up @ Kampung Putra - Community Mapping'  ·  March 2019

  • It was a great initiative, where we had a very hands-on experience of helping orang asli community, and with the help of EPIC this effort will be continued further to improve infrastructure and development of the aboriginal communities.

    On mission 'RBC X EPIC Kg Hulu Tamu Gravity Feed Water System Phase 1 Build (Jan 18th, 2019)'  ·  January 2019

  • This was my first public build and I'm greatly impressed by how everything was organized. It was hard to believe how the house can be completed within 3 days because it was a 6-module house but we somehow managed despite the rainy weather. It was a truly inspiring experience.

    On mission 'EH133: Tokai Engineering (M) Sdn Bhd Sponsored Build'  ·  November 2018

  • Though an experienced PF volunteer, it is always a unique experience with every village.
    Even though this round was a follow up, to clarify the available information.
    We still have to dedicate time, focus and compassion to speak to any family we meet, as well as anyone else in the village.

    Another great and fulfilling PF mission with epic. Thank you for taking care of us and giving us this opportunity to help others.

  • Another PF mission, another Orang Asli village, another new experience. Truly an epic experience together with EPIC once again.
    No matter how little a volunteer's contribution, it is still an effort and impact made, so long as your heart is there.
    Interesting to know how the Mah Meri of Pulau Indah live, and also some history of the village.

    To any new wannabe Pathfinders out there, come join future missions. You're guaranteed an eye opening experience and make new connections.

    On mission 'PF#6 - Pathfinders @ Kampung Orang Asli Pulau Indah - Community Mapping'  ·  October 2018

  • A wonderful experience overall. I have never been to an orang asli village and this was an eye opener for me. Looking forward for future mission of similar nature. Would like to join your builder pathways as well. Thank you daniel and sasha for the leadership.

    On mission 'PF#5 - Pathfinders @ Kampung Hulu Chemperoh - Community Mapping'  ·  September 2018

  • Really good experience, was my first time and definitely won't be my last, being able to take part in such a meaningful mission really inspires me to contribute more

    On mission 'PF#5 - Pathfinders @ Kampung Hulu Chemperoh - Community Mapping'  ·  September 2018

  • Overall a great first experience for me meeting with the Orang Asli community and getting to know them and systematically recording the issues that they may have that we could address. I will definitely be up for the next Pathfinders. With that being said, this experience wasn't a walk in the park. Participants were basically given a stack of forms, some basic instructions and split in pairs and sent off with each family. It's up to you to find what works best in your pair to get the most useful information under a limited period of time. Met lots of interesting and nice participants too! :)

  • Again, a unique experience with EPIC. Different Orang Asli villages have different needs, and this extends to different families as well.
    It is an interesting and great learning experience for 'us' urbanites meeting the lesser known Malaysians living here in the Peninsula.

  • It was so exhausting! The pipes we heavy and long. The first time I carry the pipe uphill, I thought Im going to die from tiredness. However, the experience i gained was golden! The villagers were friendly and helpful, they stopped whenever i felt tired. The post-carrying moment is the best because the villagers took us to a majestic waterfall twice! All in all, being a city boy, I learnt a lot from this experience and I will totally recommend it to my friends!

    On mission 'Kg Hulu Tamu Gravity Feed Water System Phase 1 Build (September 16th, 2018)'  ·  September 2018

  • Good effort from all the team members who managed to work together very well and follow all the instructions, rules and finished the tasks given on time. I am so honored to join and contribute to this mission. The level of satisfaction was very high. WELL DONE!

    On mission 'Toy Libraries Malaysia - Library Build'  ·  August 2018

  • Personally as my 1st build (though partial), it's a great practical experience after having gone through the Basic Builder's Workshop with EPIC.

    All thanks to everyone involved; volunteers, sponsors, organisers and especially the JMB/residents who took good care of our food & drinks to keep everyone going throughout the sunny day.

    On mission 'Toy Libraries Malaysia - Library Build'  ·  August 2018

  • It was a great build. The weather was just nice. The community were very helpful. I hope to do more of this.

    On mission 'Toy Libraries Malaysia - Library Build'  ·  August 2018

  • It was a really good experience to understand a deeper view of the Orang Asli areas. It was also an eye-opening experience as it gave me not only a better view on the rural, but also a deeper understanding between the problems and issues faced by them. I would recommend joining!

    On mission 'PF#4 - Pathfinders @ Kampung Serigala - Community Mapping'  ·  August 2018

  • Sharing the experience and view specifically for Kg Serigala families:

    It was a very easy-going and friendly atmosphere and task. Probably many thanks to the Lead (Daniel) for establishing good relations.
    The personal journey & experience is new and an eye-opener.

    In summary, the few families interviewed were laid back. Having enough to live by. Not really having any grouses, so long as no trouble looks for them.
    Most of the standard brick houses are built with the assistance from JAKOA. And no huge problems are seen so far. But the delivery lead time has been found wanting.

    -Electricity is good, rarely do they experience outages. Even if there were, TNB response is decent with a lead time of 2 days.
    -Water is an ongoing problem and they have learnt to live with it/around it for many years before SYABAS brought water in, and even after that. Because after SYABAS supply began, they still only have water from ~5 hours (12am-5am)
    -Medical assistance has gone missing via mobile clinic (Klinik bergerak) since the end of GE14
    -Education for the current generation of school-going children is a priority for the parents. Those who have since passed the ages of 16-18 have either dropped out or received no formal education.
    -Land titles have been a forever problem. The whole village would at least like to see the land, that their village sits on, gazetted. May not necessarily need a land title for individual homes, as the village is a community as well as a family all the same.
    -Sometimes there is encroachment from 'neighbouring' Kg orang Melayu. But in the end, everyone tries to settle such disputes amicably (tak mau cari pasal la).

    Skills (hidden, potential or otherwise), dreams, interests, future wishes, etc... All these differ for all individuals. And also perhaps they are very modest about what the have done, and the skills and knowledge of DIY maker/repair works may seem normal to them also.

  • Great experience g ! most of them were first time builders but they build like an expert. they give all of their time and energy to build a home and shelter for those who are in needs. Looking forward for the next mission! =)

    On mission 'Oleon & Business Partners’ Epic Builds'  ·  July 2018

  • Awesome experience. Definitely will come back for 2nd time Epic Home event. Thanks for the wonderful memories of 2018.

    On mission 'Oleon & Business Partners’ Epic Builds'  ·  July 2018

  • On mission 'The Collective Dream Team'  ·  March 2018

  • Great experience with the EPIC facilitators. Nice to have met the architect/designer of the project as well. Gives context to what us volunteers are contributing towards.
    Hands-on practical work makes anyone appreciate the blue collar workers everywhere.
    All in all, an extremely great experience.
    Will probably look out for a mission/project in suburban/rural locations next time.

    On mission 'Street Mural Art & Bricklaying SPECIAL @ PJKita! - Week 2'  ·  October 2017

  • This was my first build after joining a Builder Basic Workshop, which gave me hands on experience in building a real house with group of amazing people. Couldn't believe we are building a house where people are going to stay. I will definitely join to build again.

    On mission 'EPIC's 100th Build!'  ·  August 2017

  • It was an amazing weekend! I met so many amazing people who had the same focus on mind, to help change the lives of an entire family! Made tons of new friends and enjoyed giving back through this mission.

    Side note: Sedunia mission page is very user friendly!

    This is definitely one of the highlight in my life! It was great to know and work with all the awesome people during this build. Good job guyss!

    On mission 'EPIC's 100th Build!'  ·  August 2017

  • This Mission was AMAZING! I had so much fun building as well as connecting with the community of Kampung Hulu Tamu. Would definitely share my experience with friends and recommend them to join!

    On mission 'EPIC's 100th Build!'  ·  August 2017

  • PJKita provided us a great opportunity to understand the concerns and needs of the PJ-ians. It's exciting to see what sort of change they're looking forward to in their physical environment, and its often what we may overlook. I would love to see more of these public engagements to help build a community-inclusive city. Overall, great job!

    On mission 'Community Engagement with PJKITA'  ·  August 2017

  • Overall, this was a good engagement session with PJrians communities. Its my first time involving in such community engagement. Some of the people are curious with this type of engagement. Nevertheless, they are willing to share their ideas on how to improve the PJ communities. Hopefully, the relevant stakeholders would be able to take necessary actions to help mitigate issues and also improve PJ for better.

    On mission 'Community Engagement with PJKITA'  ·  August 2017

  • It was really hectic but great to see the PJ community involved in giving feedback for their own neighborhood! I was very pleasantly surprised to have met individuals who are motivated and dedicated to their own environment and were most eager to contribute.

    On mission 'Community Engagement with PJKITA'  ·  August 2017

  • I had such a great time at the #PJKITA event! I had the opportunity to learn how to put on a thick skin and bravely engage strangers to gather ideas and feedback for their beloved community. And in that process, I made many new awesome friends while being able to do my bit for a social change.

    On mission 'Community Engagement with PJKITA'  ·  August 2017

  • I think this is a great effort to kickstart this democratic way of development! Kudos to MBPJ to have this initiative. Public response was good where you can see some of them very eager to share their thoughts and have a positive outlook to this. Some people are still quite new to this idea but able to spark some curiosity in people. Can't wait to see more of these opportunities in future and come to fruition

    On mission 'Community Engagement with PJKITA'  ·  August 2017

  • Amazing experience for those who registered! We got to mingle and interact with the community in PJ and find out what their thoughts were.

    Registration on the mission page was very user-friendly and informative! Looking forward to joining more missions! Woohoo!

    On mission 'Community Engagement with PJKITA'  ·  August 2017

  • It's a great mission and I love to see more of this in the future where the PJrians could be more proactive on what they want in their environment/neighbourhood/workplace. MBPJ should also make an effort to make sure the PJrians are heard and work together as a community to make PJ a better place.
